If the leaves on your shrubs and perennials are turning yellow, they might just be hungry. Heavy summer growth and frequent watering naturally deplete nutrients from the soil, leaving foliage looking pale and washed out. You can easily restore that lush green color by applying a water-soluble fertilizer, which delivers a fast pick-me-up directly to the roots and leaves.

If the leaf tissue is yellow but the veins stay dark green, look for a formula with chelated iron to fix the deficiency quickly. Just remember to water your plants thoroughly the day before fertilizing to protect the roots from stress. Stop by the garden center this week to pick up the right formula and keep your landscape finishing the season strong.

Late summer is the perfect time to introduce a new color to your landscape. While early flowers fade, a variety of exceptional plants are just reaching their peak, ensuring your garden stays vibrant well into autumn.

Here are three excellent additions for reliable late-season color:

Dynamic Perennials: Add plants timed to shine now. Color-coded Coneflowers (Echinacea) and Summerblaze Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) offer fresh blooms that last for weeks.

Show-Stopping Shrubs: Panicle hydrangeas like Limelight Prime or Quick Fire Fab are late-summer stars, producing massive blooms that transition from white to rich pink and burgundy.

Continuous Fillers: Fill gaps with long-blooming selections. Superbena verbena provides low-growing color clusters, while Rockin' salvias offer striking upright flower spikes until frost.

Stop by the garden center this week to browse our selection of late-season stars and extend your garden's peak performance.

By August, summer containers can look tired from the heat. Don’t replace the whole pot. A quick mid-season tune-up will keep them beautiful through autumn.
Here is your 3-step refresh plan:
1. Trim: Snip off faded blooms and cut back leggy, overgrown trailing plants to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
2. Feed: Frequent summer watering flushes nutrients from container soil. Apply a water-soluble fertilizer to jumpstart late-summer performance.
3. Swap: Gently remove any dead or spent plants. Replace them with fresh, heat-tolerant options like marigolds, ornamental peppers, or coleus to instantly fill the gaps.

Mixing fresh late-summer arrivals with your established plants creates a lush look that bridges the seasons beautifully.

Stop by the garden center this week to grab fresh soil, browse our favorite heat-loving plants, or get advice on the best picks for your space.

Is your garden showing signs of summer stress? Between intense heat and peak pest season, July can be tough on your landscape. A quick round of mid-summer triage will get your plants right back on track.

Start by deadheading spent flowers to encourage a fresh flush of blooms, and trim away any yellowing foliage.

Next, check your hanging baskets and containers. They dry out rapidly in the summer sun and need regular, water-soluble fertilizer to replenish lost nutrients.

Is your garden feeling the summer heat? Mid-July is the perfect time for a quick mulch refresh. A fresh two-inch layer of mulch instantly tidies up your landscape while doing some heavy lifting for your plants. It will help retain moisture so you water less, cool root systems during high-heat days, and block out pesky summer weeds. Plus, fresh mulch creates a clean backdrop that makes your current summer blooms instantly pop.

If you are watering constantly but your plants are still drooping, the secret isn't watering more often. It is watering deeper. Hot summer watering is all about pushing moisture down to where the roots need it.
Frequent, shallow watering keeps roots near the scorching surface, where they quickly dry out. Instead, give your garden a slow, thorough soak less frequently. This coaxes roots to grow deep into cooler, moisture-rich soil. For the best results, water early in the morning before the heat of the day causes major evaporation.
